nobody ever told me that Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of the greatest albums of all time? i had no idea. now i do. do you? if you don't you should..."i'd rather be a sparrow than a snail/ yes i would/ if i could/ if i could..."
i'm total "hair of the dog" right now on Anchor Steam (SanFranPsycho's best since 1896) flipping this record over and over and over...can't get enough...can anyone tell me where the intro melody on El Condor Pasa has been sampled?...i can't place it but i know i've heard it, maybe in a rap song, maybe in an Odd Nosdom beat?
i'm not wishing you a happy Easter because i'm Greek-American and it's not our Easter...ya'll a bunch of heathens (Tory! you know how the Greeks do!)...we're all about Council of Nicaea...ya heard!? but Christos Anesti if you must...

i actually think that is one of the greatest albums ever as well.
botw is probably one of the most intense songs next to nights in white satin.
find me a doppleganger!
be patient kay, one can't force these things...
Dear John,
Bridge over Troubled Water is one of the greatest albums ever and the song is such that everytime I sing it alone in the car, I cry.
It's beautiful.
Best,

thanks Amish. like i said, i had no idea. that's one of the great things about records, you can just buy a gaggle of them for cheap and then throw them in a "haven't listened to these yet" box and then when you slap that sucker on on a sunday afternoon drinking a few beers you get your head totally blown off.
s & g rule, despite what David Meltzer says. I dig "Cecilia".
Hi John,
I keep seeing that shot of Paul and Art "above the fold" when I come to your blog and I'm banging my head against a Portland fir to figure out who from the po-world to slip in below it as a lookalike. Kunin's got the hair maybe, but otherwise isn't especially Art-like. Seems like there's a Paul right at the edge of my memory but I can't quite bring it to the front.
rodney,
really? i have no idea...
art g. looks a little like Ed Sanders from his NET outtakes video, but even then only his forehead and anglo-fro, and only if you squint...
actually if you imagine that paul simon's hair is Garfunkel's giant handlebar mustache then he looks exactly like Ed Sanders c. 1965...
